No. Again, they make it clear that the default directory is a "shared

It's not clear this women did any ripping.

What is clear, 2pid, is that this woman had software downloaded on her
computer, which she did not claim was downloaded by anybody else,
which automatically shared files she downloaded with others.

That's illegal, y'know...

My PC has a shared documents folder that isn't open to world.
Just being "shared" doesn't mean much.
Was she the only user of her PC? Did she do the Kaaza install?

If I put music on my shared docs folder and other users of my
PC copied it to their private folders on the same pc...am I guilty?

I don't know, 2pid. Is that what she claimed? All I saw was, "We don't
know how this happened, but it isn't her fault."

Why do you insist on creating defenses for people's behavior that they
themselves do not use?

Lol!

and a lynching for the idiots on the jury.

In what way do you disagree with them?

Ridiculous penalties designed to warn others.

The jury had nothing to do with that.

Then its the judge.

There you go. So, if the penalties were those prescribed by law...?

Congress was bought by the record companies.

Ah, it's a conspiracy. Why didn't you just say so? Lol!

And therefore, judges and juries should legislate from the bench.

Thank you for your participation in this 'discussion.' Lol!
